Genesis44:21
21 And thou saidest unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him .
(i. e.) See him with my own eyes, and thereby be satisfied of the truth of what you say. Compare Gen. 42. 15, 16. Elsewhere this phrase signifies to shew favour to a person, as Ier. 39. 12. and 40. 4. But though that was Iosephs intention, as yet he was minded to conceal it from them.
